Hi,

I just noticed that both gqview and gqview-devel got updated and that reminded me that the gqview project is essentially defunct. Saying that, there is a fork called geeqie and we do have a package for the alpha version in the aur. This version is basically a gqview-devel with some patches. Iwas using gqview-devel with out a crash for the last year and switched to geeqie by the end of April. No crashing there either.

So I would like to bring geeqie to extra, and by the same time abandon the gqview packages.

any objections?

If geeqie is as stable as gqview-devel like you said, then no objections from me.

I use gqview intensively, and never experienced any problem. I have compiled and installed geeqie-svn a few days ago (after reading this thread) and used it everyday since then. I experienced many crashes! May I suggest we keep gqview until geeqie reaches its first stable version? Perhaps you can replace gqview-devel with geeqie though. F

That sounds like a good plan.

Another plan would be to add geeqie and to update gqview to its devel version. The devel version of gqview is very stable.

Just out of curiosity, are you aware of any specific operations in geeqie that trigger the crash? because I have not experienced a single one yet. Also I'm on 32bit.

These problems might be caused by the svn revision that is used for the package. Tobias built his package several months ago and François built his recently. Maybe there have been new changes in the code that makes is unstable. I'll also try geeqie to see how it goes. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Hi guys just to make that clear, I'm planning on bringing in the alpha version from april, which basically is gqview-devel with a view patches that people contributed and were both tested for a long time and reviewed. Actual geegie development stred from there and that is what's in svn atm. So I don't plan on bringing in svn stuff, only released tarballs. -T On Fri, 18 Jul 2008, Firmicus wrote:

I never tried gqview-devel because gqview just worked for me. But I trust you on that.

This is very much possible that some recent changes were causing this. I built the svn version a few days ago for x86_64. The crashes occurred mostly when performing rotate operations (with ] [ and shift-R). But I did not investigate further since this happened during work hours ;-)

Sounds all right to me!

FYI, alpha2 is out. I'll build it and see how it works, i.e., how stable it is. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Do you want me to go ahead and add geeqie to extra to replace gqview-devel? Or do you want to do it yourself? Eric -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
